Add your review here. Pop and oh yeah, some rock too Review written by John Fitzgerald, May 26th, 2005 The rockabilly of Billy's "Get an education" and the Chuck Berry styled rocker by The Fabulous Thunderbirds called "My babe" really stick out like sore thumbs here in that they are the most stripped down of rock tunes while the rest of the songs are synth/keys 80's pop so it was almost like the rock elements were an afterthought. "Get an education" has the edge on the Thunderbirds though as it's much sharper and the keyboards really add something to it. There is some good pop here though dated badly like the E.G. Daily (AKA actress Elizabeth Daily) tracks "Seduction" and more so on "Mind over matter" which is admittedly very catchy (due to it's top 10 success must be why I recognised it when getting this album for my Mac collection). Also, "All I want from you" by Tami Show is a haunting howler which while not great is one of the better songs. Perhaps the same could be said on a good day for Tone Norum's "Second language" which does have good rock undertones in the guitar and rhythm tracks but the rest is not very useful. The opening "Happy" by Danny Elfman may have been more effective if done as a straightforward boogie tune but it tries to be too quirky making it sound rather laughable and the fast bouncer "Jackie" by Ella Fiorillo is rather lightweight. "Brain power" by Paul Engemann is overdramatic and has the most TV movie sounding stale pop sound over the others though the otherwise bland "I'm supposed to have sex with you" by Tonio K. has weedy guitar parts that actually almost help it out a little but doesn't push it over the edge. Anyways, those that like Billy's more rockabilly side of things may prefer to get this than some of his more country based outings though they'll most likely be disappointed in the rest of the material enclosed due to it being one of the above mentioned "out of place" tracks.
